Next you will want Nomar's head again when he doesn't hit.

Ya, Bruce, this has been going on for as long as I've followed baseball.
Williams got it for years.
Even the sainted Yaz got it---fans used to throw garbage wrapped up inside of "Big Yaz Bread" wrappers at him when he was in a slump.
#^&#^&#^&#^& O'Connell jerked Fisk, Burleson and Lynn around on their new contracts, and then screwed up the paperwork and allowed them to become unrestricted free agents, but it was all their faults when they left.
Jim Rice may have deserved a lot of what he got, but he still got it, even when he hit .330 and drove in 100+.
Clemens and Boggs were trashed. Both will go into the Hall wearing some other team's cap.
95% of the ballplayers today are "me-firsters" but it seems only the Red Sox fans hold them to a higher standard.
